SPOKE ON THREE MAJOR POINTS IN LEGION PROGRAM From Saturday's Daily In an Armistice day address to pupils of St. John's parochial school yesterday, Elmer Webb spoke on the three major points of the American Legion's program for 1940 strict neutrality, adequate national defense and the universal conscription of both men and materials all aimed to help keep the United States out of war. The latter two have long "been advocated by the Legion, but the first came into being this year due to the present European conflict. Summed up in one sentence, the gist of the Legion's attitude is that "it is important that the United States be prepared for any eventual ity yet do everything it can to avoid war." "Preparedness alone has never brought about a war," said the speak er, "but has often resulted in check ing the ambitions of aggressor na tions in the same manner a courag eous boy not looking for trouble, but able to fight if trouble is forced upon him, checks the ambitions of the playground bully. Militarism, on the other hand, which properly defined means a desire for conquest a desire t:i dominate has been the cause of every war the world has ever known." The ability of Switzerland, a small nation long schooled in preparedness, to keep out of Europe's conflicts was cited in direct contrast to China, the large, but unprepared pacifist nation, which has been made the football of stronger nations its desirable ports gobbled up and its resources appro priated, while the helpless Chinese are unable to defend themselves.
